LA GRACIOSA — English translation

Quevedo · spanish → English

What "LA GRACIOSA" means

A playful, flirty invitation to a guarded woman who has been hurt before. The singer teases her to loosen up, drop her fear and let him show her a good time, promising a sunny island getaway with swims and kisses in plain view of everyone. He keeps things casual, saying they needn't be an official couple. The title nickname, La Graciosa, also names an island, and the song uses it as a metaphor for her hard-to-reach heart.

¡Eh ya ya, eh ya ya, uh ah, eh ya ya!
Hey ya ya, hey ya ya, uh ah, hey ya ya!
¡Eh ya ya, eh ya ya, uh ah, eh ya ya!
Hey ya ya, hey ya ya, uh ah, hey ya ya!
El Baifo sí el chiquillo, el caprichoso
The kid, the playful one, the capricious one
Dime quién fue ese loquito
Tell me who that little fool was
